Ashley Robinson of Bangor assisted on one of the East’s goals. A fumble recovery by Ryan Scioli ended Woodstock’s first scoring chances. Bath couldn’t convert on offense and was forced to punt. A heads-up play by Tyquan Ekejiuba on the punt had Hyde back in possession deep in the Wolfpack territory. Bath capitalized on the next play as Bemnet Banks ran for a TD and Jack Peters  converted for 2 points and Bath was up 8-0.
